James Harden will try to score 60 points in his next game to answer Joel Embiid

I'm gonna bet on James Harden in his next game to go out there and try to score like 55, 60 points. Yeah. I feel like he's got something to prove. He's got an answer for it.

James Harden scored 11 points in his next game against the Lakers on January 23, 2024.

Joel Embiid will not win MVP this year because he'll miss too many games

He probably won't be able to win MVP 'cause he's gonna miss too many games this year. He's already missed 11 outta 40... it will be very funny if Joel Embiid has like an even better year than last year. But because he plays like 64 games instead of 65, that'll be the quickest that everyone will turn on a rule.

Embiid only played 39 games in the 2023-24 season due to injury, failing the 65-game requirement and disqualifying him from MVP despite elite stats.

If the Celtics stay healthy, they will win the championship this year

I've said it the whole year. If, if this team is healthy in the Playoffs, they'll win the Championship. Chris Saps has been an amazing addition... Just gotta stay healthy.

The Boston Celtics won the 2024 NBA Championship after staying relatively healthy through the postseason.

I'm officially voting for Joel Embiid for MVP

I'm just going to vote for [Embiid] with my vote... and say that if the Sixers don't win the title this year, it's a disappointment all for naught.

Nikola Jokic won the 2021-22 NBA MVP award, not Embiid.

The Cleveland Cavaliers can beat the Brooklyn Nets in the play-in game

I think the calves can beat the nets. I'm just gonna, yeah. [They] are a better match up for us. I still think we can beat the nets. And then if we beat the nests, we have a better path to the finals.

The Nets beat the Cavaliers 115-108 in the 7/8 play-in game.

The Milwaukee Bucks will sweep the Chicago Bulls in the first round

The bucks are going to kill him. It's going to, I just want it to be over as fast as possible... the box are going to sweep the bowls and at least I know how to deal with Packers fans.

The Bucks won the series 4-1. They did not sweep, as the Bulls won Game 2.

The 2022 NBA Finals will be the Brooklyn Nets vs. the Golden State Warriors

I'm going to double dip. I'm going to go nets warriors... Meaning like the warriors are kind of, I'm treating them the same way I'm treated the nets, which is they're too good. They've got so much talent. They're going to figure it out.

Incorrect. While the Warriors made the Finals, the Nets were swept in the first round by the Celtics.

The Bucks are going to walk to the NBA Finals

Like I'm saying, the Bucks are going to just walk to the finals this year. I'm very consistent on that.

The Bucks lost to the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals (4-2) after leading the series 2-0.

Steph Curry gets the least criticism of any superstar in sports for playing poorly

Watching [Steph Curry] play and watching him shoot and get hot is awesome. But there is not one single superstar that I've ever seen in any sport that gets less shit for sucking than Steph Curry.

I am not confident about the Celtics playing the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals

I'm not really going to act like I'm super confident about playing the Cavs.

The Cavaliers defeated the Celtics 4-1 in the 2017 Eastern Conference Finals.

Russell Westbrook distrusts his teammates more than any player I've ever seen

I don't think I've ever seen—and don't tell him I said this because he'll get very upset at me—I don't think I've ever seen one player distrust his teammates more than Russell Westbrook. Unbelievable season, but he really was like, these guys fucking suck, and I need to make sure they never get the ball.

This is a subjective assessment of playstyle, though Westbrook's high usage and triple-double pursuit remain heavily debated topics from that season.

Mike Brown is a better coach for the Warriors than Steve Kerr

Mike Brown is better than Steve Kerr. It's obvious if you watched the first quarter of that game last night. Steve Kerr, as we say on the show, he's a system coach. He only coaches well when he's coaching in his system. So I think that we're going to see him be exposed more and more.

While Brown led them during Kerr's absence in the 2017 playoffs to a perfect record, Kerr's overall resume and four championships prove he is one of the all-time greats, making the 'system coach' label incorrect.
